Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak announces he’s RETIRING at age 76: ‘It’s been a wonderful ride’

Pat Sajak says he is retiring from Wheel of Fortune after more than four decades.

“Well, the time has come,” 76-year-old Sajak said in a tweet on Monday. “I have decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.

He continued, “It has been a great ride and I will have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to all of you. (If nothing else, it keeps the clickbait sites busy!)’

A tweet from the long-running game show read, “Thank you to the best host in the biz. Wheel of Fortune wouldn’t be what it is today without you, Pat. I look forward to Season 41 being better than ever!’
